About the Joy of the Gospel Evangelii Gaudium - God’s Mission: Joy of the Gospel Evangelii Gaudium is Pope Francis’ Apostolic Exhortation on the Proclamation of the Gospel in Today's World (released 24 November 2013). It is his first major piece of writing as Pope and it holds out a grand vision and enormous possibilities for our lives as missionary disciples.

CSO 3 year Strategic planning Goal: to enhance the ability of all participants to lead in the area of Mission Not a new ‘project’, rather a mindset and a disposition that enables mission to be the heartbeat of all our endeavours Calling us as disciples of Jesus to proclaim the joy of the Gospel Calling us to provide mission- focused student learning HANDOUT: 50 ways to live the Joy of the Gospel – spend a few minutes in reflection Prayer – we will look at one element of Evangelii Gaudium as our prayer today.

Joy of the Gospel: Roger Schroeder, SVD "Being a disciple means constantly ready to bring the love of Jesus to others, and this can happen unexpectedly and in any place: on the street, in a city square, during work, on a journey." ( Evangelii Gaudium 127) 127. Today, as the Church seeks to experience a profound missionary renewal, there is a kind of preaching which falls to each of us as a daily responsibility. It has to do with bringing the Gospel to the people we meet, whether they be our neighbours or complete strangers. This is the informal preaching which takes place in the middle of a conversation, something along the lines of what a missionary does when visiting a home. Being a disciple means being constantly ready to bring the love of Jesus to others, and this can happen unexpectedly and in any place: on the street, in a city square, during work, on a journey. / - video linkhttp://learn.ctu.edu/content/joy-gospel-roger-schroeder-svd

Discussion/reflection questions 1. Name a significant person who shared with you the love, compassion, and forgiveness of God in a concrete way during an important time in your life. 2. How can you witness without words to God’s love and mercy in a simple and informal way today to an acquaintance or a stranger? 3. Name an incident, if you can, when you talked about God and/or your Christian faith with someone, such as in a hospital, park, funeral home, restaurant, or in your home.
